Biography

Juliet Maryon Mills (born 21 November 1941) is an British actress. She is the daughter of actor Sir John Mills and Mary Hayley Bell and the older sister of actress Hayley Mills.[1]

Juliet Mills began her career as a child actress.

Mills was born in London during World War II (1941), though her parents, actor Sir John Mills and playwright Mary Hayley Bell, soon moved the family to the country to be away from the German Luftwaffe raids. She is the elder sister of actress Hayley Mills and director Jonathan Mills. Because of her parents' fame, Mills grew up surrounded by famous actors, including Rex Harrison, David Niven and Marlon Brando. She recalled her childhood in the 2000 documentary film Sir John Mills' Moving Memories, written by her brother. Her godmother was actress Vivien Leigh, and her godfather was playwright Noël Coward.[7] She attended the Elmhurst Ballet School, in Camberley, Surrey.[3]

Mills has been married three times. The first time was from 1961 to 1964, to Russell Alquist, Jr.,[1] with whom she had a son, Sean. Her second marriage was from 1975 to 1980 to Michael Miklenda, with whom she had a second child, a daughter, Melissa. In 1980, Mills married Maxwell Caulfield, 18 years her junior. Mills said of the age difference, "Everybody is always interested in the fact that I am married to someone who is a lot younger than I am ... There are no rules, and that's what I believe, because age doesn't really matter. If you meet someone that you're really close to, someone that you love, stick with that."[2] Caulfield adopted Melissa, Mills's daughter by her second husband, and the couple live in southern California.
